Difference between MyISAM and InnoDB MySQL

InnoDB and MyISAM most popular storage engines in MySQL & also mostly used storage engine is the MyISAM. But most of them don't know the importance of InnoDB.

Below are the basic differences of MyISAM and InnoDB.

1. InnoDB supports transactions which is not supported by tables which use MyISAM storage engine. Transaction is nothing but a set of MySQL queries run in an Stored Procedure as shown (BEGIN TRANSACTION ......SET of QUERIES ......END). 
2. InnoDB has row-level locking, relational integrity i.e. supports foreign key relationship between tables, which is not possible in MyISAM.
3. InnoDB ‘s performance for higher volume data which cannot be beaten by any other storage engines available.

Tables created in MyISAM are known to be much faster compared to tables in InnoDB. But since InnoDB supports volume, transactions, integrity it’s always a better option when we are dealing with a larger database.
